    I'm not sure what the best forum is for this, so I went general.

    Is there a good product out there to hold all my crap I keep laying in the back of my cab interior (access cab)? I want somewhere to put my bungees, straps, emergency supplies, tools, gloves, and maybe some ammo. I use my bed compartment for my tow rope, and at the moment I'm not interested in getting a bed box.

    Also something to hang or strap in a backpack, and something to mount my telescoping ice scraper

    The caveat is that I need whatever I have to be something I can remove when not at home, and semi safely put it in the bed if I have my kids or a random passenger with me. I'm just looking for options to get all the stuff out of my floor

    I use a combination of canvas tool rolls that fit under the access jump seats, and ammo cases bolted to the bed rails.

    The ammo case method seems like it might work for you, if you put bolts in the rails and use wing nuts inside the ammo case to hold it on you can stash them in the bed when you want without having to get out tools. Otherwise they can just sit on the floor.

    You're talking about ammo cases in the access cab area? You're saying bed rails though. My tiny brain is confused.

    He's talking about in the bed of the truck. Drill out 2 holes in the ammo cans, place a bolt with washer in the bed rails and throw a wing nut on the inside of the can. Easily removed.

    I built an easily removable platform for the back that evened out the floor for placing items on, as well as providing storage underneath. A lot of people go with this method for access cab trucks. I built mine in two sections so I can remove half and throw it in the bed if I have a rear passenger, I also just throw a cheap blanket over the top. I still retain access to the rear under seat storage.

    I have several "dry boxes" filled with "stuff". I can keep them in the back floorboard, or toss them all in the bed if I need the space.
